Actually, the kernel has HDMI audio support for your particular card, it's just disabled by default. Add "radeon.audio=1" to your kernel command line to enable it. Hat-tip to the always awesome Arch wiki for this information. -T.C. -------------------------------------------------------------------- T.C. Thanks for the advice. I added the "radeon.audio=1" to the kernel command line, but the hdmi still does not function. I tried to add the command to ./grub/menu.lst but looks like that file is not present in F16. I took a look at my install logs and found the following : Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [ 1.907760] [drm] Radeon display connector VGA-1: No monitor connected or invalid EDID Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [ 1.959789] [drm] Radeon display connector LVDS-1: Found valid EDID Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [ 2.065434] [drm] Radeon display connector HDMI-A-1: Found valid EDID Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [ 2.065514] [drm] radeon: power management initialized Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [ 3.199259] fbcon: radeondrmfb (fb0) is primary device Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [ 3.246416] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 170x48 Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [ 3.258411] fb0: radeondrmfb frame buffer device Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [ 3.258416] drm: registered panic notifier3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [ 3.258441] [drm] Initialized radeon 2.11.0 20080528 for 0000:01:05.0 on minor 0 The kernel is this machine is : 3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 It looks to me like this kernel is recognizing the hdmi interface, but hdmi sound is still not working.
